Inventory is tight right now - but long term it has a large enough population base and recreational opportunities are abundant. 

All of the amenities, etc. for owners (waterpark, pools, parks, bike trails, tubing hill, rock climbing walls), plus The Village at Sunriver (restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, ice cream/candy, quaint shops , kids entertainment areas, and recreation rentals, are all geared towards STR guests. 

Close to amenities, parks, recreation, shopping

Also Albert Lowry had some great ideas, as did Robert Allen.On of the best books on RE Creative Solutions is by James Misko.

Managed and operated by the nonprofit Shelby Farms Park Conservancy, the trail is an incredible community asset that provides new opportunities for recreation, exercise, togetherness, healthy activity, commuting and more.                                          

The remainder live hand-to-mouth and either do not have the means to accumulate a down payment (i.e. a single parent on social assistance) or do not have the self-discipline to save a down-payment or maintain a suitable credit history (some of these tenants make fair incomes, but always have new cloths, fancier cars than I, and lots of recreational travel).  

It is not uncommon to see the "recreation room" on the ground floor of many newer 2-families be illegally turned into a third unit.

Don't try to recreate the wheel.

Hi all,

I am looking for some ways you have found homes NOT listed on the MLS, so I want to buy directly from the homeowner.

Like Ben, we typically combine trips to the property with other recreational activities in the area.Andy
